The concept of traditional knowledge is a well known concept simply because it originates from a particular group whereby such knowledge is found. For example, the people from Central of Tanzania, mostly from Gogo Tribe they have a certain knowledge on how their Kigoda is made or how their traditional songs are sound different from other songs from other tribes. They also know on how their different medicines are made, which tree or leaves is suitable for creating a certain medicine. This is what we call traditional knowledge, knowledge from the origin.One among the concepts which tries to protect traditional knowledge is copyright which protect the exclusive literary and artistic works of the original owner (s) as provided by a particular law of a particular country.The problem came in the protection of this traditional knowledge, when the science and technology developed as these development speeds up the infringement of the rights obtain in traditional knowledge from the owner (s) of such knowledge. The bad thing, most of the laws in third world countries (particular in Tanzania) do not have sufficient mechanism in protecting this traditional knowledge.This paper entails to discuss those challenges facing the protection of traditional knowledge (both traditional and online protection) and how does our law (particular copyright laws) respond to such challenges.
